Calijah Kancey
Crushing blow for the Bucs’ defense tonight in the thrilling comeback win against the Texans.
Stud defensive tackle Calijah Kancey left the game with a pectoral injury. Fans watching on TV saw Kancey’s arm go limp.
Joe’s no doctor, but pectoral injuries often are long recoveries. Some require surgery and are sure season-enders.
Todd Bowles was asked about the Kancey injury after the win tonight and said, “it has a chance to be serious.” More tests are forthcoming, Bowles said.
Joe was ecstatic when Kancey finally got through a summer without an injury. Significant calf injuries cost him several games in his first two Bucs seasons. The third-year man seemed primed for a breakout year, but now that’s been derailed.
Joe will remain optimistic until that’s not possible. And unfortunately, that kind of bad news seems only hours away.
